Answer: Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The glucose in the body is used to release energy. In order to gain energy there must be oxygen so that the glucose is broken down into energy.

This process can be defined as the chemical process during which the glucose is broken down into high energy particles.

In this case the energy is used by the cells to carry the various functions of the body.
